Show HN: Uber for Events
itunes.apple.comThe uber reference is very unclear here. You're not ordering anything that comes to you.
There is already something called Uber Events - https://www.uber.com/events
TIL "Uber" is the new word for "App"
This isn't really an "Uber for x" product...
This person has made the common mistake of thinking "Uber for x" means "an app for finding x on a map."
OP: the innovation of Uber has nothing to do with their car-finder app. It has to do with the fact that they've figured out a way to compete with a huge established business that historically has required huge capital expenditures to build a fleet of cars, and they've done it by tapping a massively underutilized and very cheap resource: other people's idle cars. This is precisely why taxi companies can't respond just by building a great app for hailing a taxi.
Would probably help to mention the name of the product. Is this delivering events to you?
"Uber for x" click-bait title.
For shame OP, Uber isn't a common noun.
Didn't actually make it. Use it and thought it's cool.
This used to be called Upcoming, but Yahoo shut that down.
It actually looks pretty cool. I'll definitely check it out, congrats on shipping!
And good use of an attention-catching title. No fault there.
No fault there?
Since when do you load up the Uber app just to see what cars are around you? Going window shopping for rides to nowhere? At best it's "Living Social" without the discounts.
